Sparkling Apple Cider

President George Washington and him family were cider lovers, as guests discovered when they visited the Mount Vernon Estate. In 1774 records indicate the family purchased no less than 477 gallons. Washington also made his own cider, probably at River Farm, one of the five adjacent farms which formed the estate. Today's Mount Vernon cider, offered in a green champagne-style bottle with a red foil neck wrap, is lightly mulled in flavor.

Cider was one of Thomas Jefferson's preferred beverages and his own orchards yielded a delightful variety of apples: Hewes Crab, Golden Wilding, and Taliaferro. Virginia cider, a non-alcoholic beverage that he compared to a silky champagne, was his favorite. Now you can enjoy Monticello Cider, a unique blend that is still created and bottled in Jefferson's Virginia.

Knudsen began bottling fruit juices from his organic grape vineyard, he did so on one condition: his fresh pressed and blended juices would never have artificial flavors, preservatives or sugar added to them. Little did he know that he was starting a tradition of innovation in health-conscious products. Today the innovation continues with Knudsen's Organic Apple Juice, bottled in a celebratory champagne-style bottle.
